    Class BaseScriptComponentAbstract

    Used to bind custom JavaScript or TypeScript code to specific Lens events for dynamic interactivity. Top level contents of a JS file will run as an OnAwakeEvent.

    These Script Components are attached to SceneObjects, providing the ability to modify properties and behaviors of those objects or others within the scene. Script Components expose input fields in the Inspector panel, allowing for customization of script behavior without altering code. Any script can access the ScriptComponent executing them through the variable script.

    // Bind a function to the MouthOpened event
    function onMouthOpen(eventData)
    {
        print("mouth was opened");
    }
    var event = script.createEvent("MouthOpenedEvent");
    event.bind(onMouthOpen);

    api: Record<string, any>

    Generic object accessible by other instances of ScriptComponent. Use this object to store references to properties and methods that need to be accessible from other ScriptComponents.

    This property is no longer needed, you can use a reference to the ScriptComponent, including 'script', directly

    enabled: boolean

    If disabled, the Component will stop enacting its behavior.

    true
    isBeingDestroyed: boolean

    Returns true if this Component is currently being destroyed. Becomes true as soon as destruction begins via Component#destroy or destruction of its owning SceneObject, before any OnDestroyEvent callbacks fire.

    Lens Scripting Version 364

    if (!script.isBeingDestroyed) {
        // Component is still fully alive
    }
    isEnabledInHierarchy: boolean

    Returns true if this Component, its SceneObject, and all of that SceneObjects parents are enabled.

    name: string
    sceneObject: SceneObject

    The SceneObject this component is on.

    uniqueIdentifier: string

    Lens Scripting Version 176

    updateOrder: number

    The relative execution order of this script's lifecycle callbacks (onStart, onUpdate, onLateUpdate, etc.) among all scripts in the Lens. Scripts with a smaller updateOrder run before scripts with a larger updateOrder. Reflects the updateOrder set on the attached ScriptAsset. Defaults to 0.

    updateOrder only orders scripts relative to each other; it does not affect ordering relative to non-script engine Components.

    Lens Scripting Version 367

    if (script.updateOrder < 0) {
        // This script runs before scripts at the default updateOrder.
    }
    updatePriority: number

    Methods

    • Returns the fully-qualified JavaScript type name for this class (for example, "Component.Camera"). This is a static accessor (no instance required) and returns the same value as the instance getTypeName().

      Type Parameters

      Parameters

      • this: T

      Returns TypeName<InstanceType<T>>

    • Returns true if the object matches or derives from the passed in type.

      Parameters

      • type: string

      Returns boolean

    • Returns true if this object is the same as other. Useful for checking if two references point to the same thing.

      Parameters

      Returns boolean

    • Parameters

      • inputName: string

      Returns void
